Walter Kovacs

Voting is now open. With 12 players remaining, it takes 7 votes to lynch.

Why isn't anyone posting yet! Day 5 has been up for at least a minute now! On a more serious note, I would like to thank Goliath for playing.

Day 5: A Farewell to Kings There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the Maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the Oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the Maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the Maples scream 'Oppression!' And the Oaks just shake their heads Night falls once again on Galidor, and the humans enter with their tools that bring death to the forest. Walter begins the night’s work by felling Hazel Hazelnut. Once on the ground, Walter remembers the Chief saying that this stump is to be removed. He sets the dynamite, lights the fuse, and then runs like hell. The explosives do their work, and where once stood a hazelnut tree, all that remains is a hole. Burt and Ernie get the honor of felling one of the largest trees in the forest. After hours of cutting, finally Waldorf Walnut falls to the ground. Mr Big Chief prepares to fell a smaller tree, but Burt interrupts him. “I’ve always wanted to try this!” Burt exclaims, as he takes a running start, then jumps into a flying ninja kick. As he picks himself up off the ground, he is amazed that it actually worked. Maggie Magnolia lies there, separated from her stump. The Elder Alder Alden stirs once again to find more of the beautiful trees gone from the forest. “It is with a sad heart that we must bid farewell to one of the kings of this forest, Waldorf Walnut. He was one of the oldest trees here, and a good friend. He was one of the staunchest Oaks as well. “It seems Maggie Magnolia is also missing. Her rings indicate that she, too, was an Oak. “And it comes as little surprise that Hazel Hazelnut has been removed, stump and all. I wish I could tell you that you found a Maple, but I am unable to. Time grows short. You must start finding some Maples. Go.” The NPCs: Elder Alden Alder Burt Ernie Mr Big Chief Walter The Players: Adelaide Apple, played by TinyPiesRUs Berty Birch, played by Dragonfire Bruce Spruce, played by Tamamono Chester Chestnut, played by Lego Spy Jack Pine, played by mostlytechnic Lassie Sassafras, played by fhomess Nash Ash, played by Zephyr Peter Cedar, played by badboytje88 Sammy Sycamore, played by Fugazi Simon Persimmon, played by Hinckley Sue Sumac, played by Bob William Willow, played by Scubacarrot The Fallen: Alastair Pear, played by Brickelodeon – Lynched Day 1 – Alignment Unknown Lauren Laurel, played by PirateDave84 – Felled Night 1 – Oak Buck “Dollar” Poplar, played by Mencot – Felled Night 1 - Oak Catarina Dogwood, played by adventurer1 – Lynched Day 2 - Oak Agnes Cyprus, played by JackJonesPaw – Felled Night 2 - Oak Vicky Hickory, played by Stickfig – Felled Night 2 – Oak Larry Larch, played by TheLazyChicken – Lynched Day 3 - Oak Clem Elm, played by Scaevola – Felled Night 3 – Oak Bobby Beech, played by Lord Duvors – Felled Night 3 - Oak Barry Cherry, played by jluck – Felled Night 3 – Alignment Unknown Hazel Hazelnut, played by Goliath – Lynched Day 4 – Alignment Unknown Maggie Magnolia, played by Calanon – Felled Night 4 – Oak Waldorf Walnut, played by jamesn – Felled Night 4 - Oak The Rules, by which we shall play: 1. Each player will be given a character to play. That character will be aligned with either the Oaks or the Maples. To win the game, the Oaks must lynch or kill off all of the Maples, while the Maples need to outnumber the voting members of the Oaks. Any Third Party characters will have their own win conditions. 2. Each day will be played out in its own topic. During the day you will be able to vote to expel (lynch) a player. Voting must be done in the following format: Vote: Character (Player). Similarly, unvoting is to be done in the format: Unvote: Character (Player). No other format will be accepted. A majority vote is required to expel (lynch) a player, meaning that over half of the remaining players must vote for the same player to warrant a lynch. 3. A game day will last for 72 hours. You may not vote in the first 24 hours. The day will end after those 72 hours. After the day has concluded, a night will commence, which will last a maximum of 48 hours. Night actions must be sent to the host in the first 24 hours of nighttime. You may not post about the game openly on Eurobricks during that time (but may continue to use private messages). 4. The alignment of lynched players, as well as those that died during the night, will be revealed at the beginning of the next day. 5. You may not quote or pretend to quote anything sent to you by the game host via PM. This includes the details of your character and role, as well as any night action results. Role claims and reporting of night action results are acceptable, but in your own words only. Do not attempt to use the structure of your role PM to your advantage. 6. You may not quote/post anything sent to you by another player via PM. If you wish to use information gained in this way, you must do so in your own words only. 7. Do not play the game outside the day threads. Similarly, do not post out-of-character inside the day threads. Game tactics and roles may only be discussed in the game thread or via PM with other players. Private discussion is done at your own risk and should be treated as part of the game. 8a. If you are a Tree Stump, you MAY (and are encouraged to) continue to take part in the Day thread discussions. Tree Stumps may not Vote, they may not use Night Actions, and they cannot be voted for or targeted at night. 8b. If you are dead, you may not post in thread or discuss the game with any of the players (living or dead). Any information you had becomes void, and may not be passed on. 9. Don't edit your posts. 10. You must post in every day thread. 11. Violation of the above rules will result in a 5-vote penalty against you on your first offense, and the death of your character on your second offense. 12. If at any time another player asks you to violate these rules (for example, asking you to give them your role PM), report this to the host immediately along with PM proof of the violation.

Day 5 will be up later today, in about 9 hours.

Sorry that I couldn't get a conclusion posted earlier today, but being on the road and working this weekend has given me a poor internet connection. The conclusion for Day 4 is up now, for anybody who is interested.

Day 4 comes to an end, and with 9 votes, the remaining trees believe that Hazel Hazelnut (Goliath) is one of the Maples they are searching for. You have 24 Hours to send in your Night Actions. Mr Big Chief returns to the logger’s camp to find Walter, Burt and Ernie playing catch with a baseball. Walter blows a huge bubble with the gum he is chewing. Suddenly… POP! Walter is left with a huge mess to clean off his face before beginning the night’s work. “Glad you guys are making good use of your time,” says the Chief wryly. No one is quite sure if he’s serious or not.

I am flying on business today and will be in the air when the normal voting time is set to begin. So we will open the voting a few hours early. I will let you know in the day thread when voting is open.

I would like to thank jluck for playing in this game.

DAY 4: 2112 There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the Maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the Oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the Maples Can't be happy in their shade Once again, night falls on the copse at the center of Galidor. And again, the silence is shattered by the roar of generators, the hum of chainsaws, the pounding thud of axe-falls and the rhythm of hand saws at work. Burt and Ernie work diligently and with care. Their expertise shows, and soon Larry Larch lies on the forest floor. Mr. Big Chief rests on his axe, watching as Barry Cherry falls down. “Walter” he shouts. “Did you bring the dynamite?” “Right here, boss!” “Good. This stump needs to be removed.” Moments later, a tremendous boom echoes through the remaining trees. All that is left is a blackened hole where Barry once stood. Walter also takes time to relax, after cutting down Clem Elm in the prime of his life, as Burt and Ernie put in some overtime bringing Bobby Beech down. The next morning, Elder Alden Alder addresses the remaining trees. “What do you think you trees are doing?! Four trees felled last night?! At this rate, none of us will survive. “When we started this, I expected 2 trees felled, hopefully with 1 Maple. 1 Maple in 2 trees would have been acceptable losses. Not four. And I can’t even read Barry’s alignment, his stump has been removed. I can tell you that Larry, Clem and Bobby were all Oaks. “You must do better today. Get to work.” The NPCs: Elder Alden Alder Burt Ernie Mr Big Chief Walter The Players: Adelaide Apple, played by TinyPiesRUs Berty Birch, played by Dragonfire Bruce Spruce, played by Tamamono Chester Chestnut, played by Lego Spy Hazel Hazelnut, played by Goliath Jack Pine, played by mostlytechnic Lassie Sassafras, played by fhomess Maggie Magnolia, played by Calanon Nash Ash, played by Zephyr Peter Cedar, played by badboytje88 Sammy Sycamore, played by Fugazi Simon Persimmon, played by Hinckley Sue Sumac, played by Bob Waldorf Walnut, played by jamesn William Willow, played by Scubacarrot The Fallen: Alastair Pear, played by Brickelodeon – Lynched Day 1 – Alignment Unknown Lauren Laurel, played by PirateDave84 – Felled Night 1 – Oak Buck “Dollar” Poplar, played by Mencot – Felled Night 1 - Oak Catarina Dogwood, played by adventurer1 – Lynched Day 2 - Oak Agnes Cyprus, played by JackJonesPaw – Felled Night 2 - Oak Vicky Hickory, played by Stickfig – Felled Night 2 – Oak Larry Larch, played by TheLazyChicken – Lynched Day 3 - Oak Clem Elm, played by Scaevola – Felled Night 3 – Oak Bobby Beech, played by Lord Duvors – Felled Night 3 - Oak Barry Cherry, played by jluck – Felled Night 3 – Alignment Unknown The Rules, by which we shall play: 1.

Day 4 will be up later this afternoon. I just have to finish up some renders and you can return to killing each other.

The Elder's voice booms out across the forest. "Day 3 has come to an end. With 12 votes, Larry Larch (TheLazyChicken) has been lynched. I will inform the humans." Meanwhile, in the logger's camp, Mr Big Chief comes across more odd behavior. "What's going on now?" Mr Chief asks. "Well, we've been chopping so many small trees these past few days, we decided to take bets on whether we'll get more than one substantial one tonight. Current odds are 5 to 1 against, if you want in." "I'll take a piece of that action. I think I have a fiver here somewhere." You have 24 Hours to send in your Night Actions.

DAY 3: CARESS OF STEEL There is unrest in the forest There is trouble with the trees For the Maples want more sunlight And the Oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the Maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the Oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light Once again darkness falls on Galidor. The roar of the generators pierces the silence and the glare of artificial light fills the forest floor. Walter approaches a Dogwood tree. “Aww, it’s another sapling. Ah well, this won’t take long.” His words prove prophetic. His chainsaw roars to life, and quickly Catarina Dogwood is felled. “What’s with all these saplings?” Burt laments. “Why can’t we take down some of these nice, big trees?” “Orders are orders,” Ernie comments. “Let’s get to work.” With little effort, the pair fells Agnes Cyprus. “Ahh, finally a decent sized tree,” says Mr Big Chief. He gets to work with his axe, skillfully felling Vickory Hickory.” The next morning, Alden surveys the carnage. “You have not chosen very well, my friends. In addition to Catarina, Vicky and Agnes have also left us. All three were Oaks. “I fear that if you don’t start identifying the Maples soon, we shall all feel the caress of steel.” The NPCs: Elder Alden Alder Burt Ernie Mr Big Chief Walter The Players: Adelaide Apple, played by Tiny Pies are Us Barry Cherry, played by jluck Berty Birch, played by Dragonfire Bobby Beech, played by Lord Duvors Bruce Spruce, played by Tamamono Chester Chestnut, played by Lego Spy Clem Elm, played by Scaevola Hazel Hazelnut, played by Goliath Jack Pine, played by mostlytechnic Larry Larch, played by TheLazyChicken Lassie Sassafras, played by fhomess Maggie Magnolia, played by Calanon Nash Ash, played by Zephyr Peter Cedar, played by badboytje88 Sammy Sycamore, played by Fugazi Simon Persimmon, played by Hinckley Sue Sumac, played by Bob Waldorf Walnut, played by jamesn William Willow, played by Scubacarrot The Fallen: Alastair Pear, played by Brickelodeon – Lynched Day 1 – Alignment Unknown Lauren Laurel, played by PirateDave84 – Felled Night 1 – Oak Buck “Dollar” Poplar, played by Mencot – Felled Night 1 - Oak Catarina Dogwood, played by adventurer1 – Lynched Day 2 - Oak Agnes Cyprus, played by JackJonesPaw – Felled Night 2 - Oak Vicky Hickory, played by Stickfig – Felled Night 2 - Oak The Rules, by which we shall play: 1.
